When
postulating
the
future
of
work
culture,
we
need
to
examine
our
proposed
ideas
and
compare
them
to
current
(and
proven)
best
practices.
There
will
always
be
trends,
but
trends
can
be
fads,
and
it’s
a
very
expensive
proposition
to
turn
the
culture
of
a
company
on
a
whim.

Digital
engagement
was
a
hot
topic
at
SXSW
2015.
Last
week
I
blogged
about
an
employee advocacy roundtable
where
IBM’s
Amber
Armstrong
and
others
spoke
of
the
need
to
trust
employees
to
be
the
voice
of
your
brand.
That

Inspiration.
A
powerful
word
that
awakens
our
imagination
and
maybe
even
causes
a
bit
of
“what-if’ing.”
Inspiration
truly
does
come
in
all
shapes,
sizes
and
forms
–
as
evident
from
the
stories
shared
with
us
by
25 Global Social Business Leaders.
Their

that

When

Yes,
many
companies
are
still
afraid
of
employees
throughout
the
ranks
speaking
on

about

They
feel
that
this

the

of
